Petra Highlights Contradictions in Homeland Celebrations
The article discusses the history and development of the Pétri Café and Bar in Rabat, which was established in 1972 and was initially known as Ouedaya. In 2004, the character of the place changed, and it became known as Pétri, with alterations in its design and the small garden that once stood in its center. The bar was distinguished by its diverse music—ranging from Gnawa, Western, to youthful and modern styles—which set it apart and attracted fans of mellow music. In 2011, Pétri became an important venue for the youth of the February 20 Movement, where discussions about politics took place alongside interactions with foreign delegations, including King Mohammed VI's advisor, André Azoulay. Every last Thursday of the month, the "Literary Thursday" was held, gathering intellectuals and writers, turning the space into a hub for cultural and political discussions. Pétri remains a witness to Rabat's life and transformations, embodying the spirit of the city and its social and cultural memories.
